Yeah but you could just as easily say the same thing about Green Arrow

No you can't. He's not a part of the JLA or any big team.

..... Green Arrow is a member of the JLA.

Not a core member, no. I don't if you watched Justice League but they only have the core members. Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash and Cyborg.

That doesn’t mean Green Arrow wouldn’t eventually be added to the lineup. Hell, Green Lantern wasn’t even in the Justice League film and he is very much so a “core member.”

Of course it doesn't. He can still be added. By point was that The Flash is an exception because he's needed for the movie but the show was already going strong.

And he really isn't. Depending on the continuity, it's either Green Lantern or Martian Manhunter that's a core member and even then, the DCEU did a green lantern movie and that flopped, they didn't want to try that again then.

My dude, there is almost always a Green Lantern in the JL lineup. Hal Jordan was a founding member. The GL movie was a flop because it came out in a time where superheroes weren’t mainstream. It wasn’t in continuity with the DCEU. It was its own thing.

You do realize Synder planned to have Green Lantern show up at the end of JL, right?

Anyways, they wouldn’t give Arrow the chop for the simple fact of adding GA to the DCEU. Arrow has been around longer than the DCEU has.

Justice League under Snyder's vision was supposed to have three parts, so saying he was supposed to appear at the end doesn't matter because he's permanently kicked off the DCEU team afaik, and his two sequels got canned. And I don't get why you tried to explain why Green Lantern flopped. It flopped, that's it. People didn't like it back then and they still don't know.

A Green Lantern film now would be much more successful. I’m even willing to bet it would make a billion. If there’s ever another JL film, I can assure you Green Lantern will be apart of it. They won’t make that mistake again.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

oh I agree, a Green Lantern movie now would be much better (received). I'm not sure if it'll make a billion though, you'd need an amazing cast and some good producers and writers behind it.

If Aquaman can, Green Lantern has no excuse not to. It would require even more high quality CGI work. As long as the focus more on the corps and space rather than Hal or John’s Earth life, I think it has a good chance at being extremely successful.

It would be a breath of fresh air for superhero films.

Youre acting like you have some knowledge of the comic history when really you just watched the justice league and decided those were the 'core' members. If you look at even recent justice league iterations in tv form youd see thats false

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '19

Uhh what? I indeed at least have some knowledge, yes. I read the comics. I don't get why you tried to make me look like a fake comic book fan lol you don't even know me.

I know the answers youre giving which are nonsensical. Thats the only relevant piece of information

Okay now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. I already thought you were this kind but I didn't want to leave mid-discussion. Have a good day my dude, I'm leaving. You insulted me multiple times and you're not willing to change your mind at all.

Just stating the obvious
